Bennington County housing shortage highlighted by county study
Bennington County faces a widespread housing gap with at least 645 new low to moderate cost units needed now. Second homes distort prices as vacation houses outnumber permanents in many towns, while 5 percent of county housing is dilapidated and 95 percent is sound but some units still lack basic services. The Bennington County Regional Planning Commission interns conducted surveys and will publish findings and proposed remedies.

Should school buses cross wooden bridges in Vermont
A Vermont statute sets wooden floored bridges as unsafe beyond 16 000 pounds, placing school buses weighing about 30 000 pounds at risk. In Bennington area buses are being rerouted pending state clarification. District officials say Mt Anthony and Bennington schools will avoid such bridges until the issue is settled.

Nixon invokes Taft-Hartley to end West Coast dock strike
President Nixon, unable to broker a settlement in the three month long West Coast dock walkout, invoked the Taft Hartley Act and ordered a five member board of inquiry. The step could lead to a federal court order mandating an 80 day return to work by 15,000 West Coast longshoremen and possibly 45,000 more dock workers elsewhere. Talks had reached impasse as 80,000 soft coal miners began a fifth day of strikes.
